This may seem like an easy question to answer but I am currently reviewing my fishing log from yesterday, and looking at the down scan log .I see some structure/ brush, that I did not go directly over. I still want to be able to mark this with a waypoint, but I'm afraid since I didn't go directly over it the way point will be wrong. Any ideas where to mark this structure. Thanks
Not sure about the DI view but with SI, mark it where the object meets the shadow.
like this, the tree is there but you can barely see the base is off to the side

Wow, :yikes I was dumb about this! I thought the waypoint would be the location of the unit at the time that you hit the mark button. I didn't think you could go to the image and select the spot... I need to learn so much... I know that our units are not spot on but closer is better... Thank Brett for that info... Got to get my unit mounted and start practicing with it...
The di beam is going directly left/right from transom. Drop a buoy as you pass over the cover. Then swing boat around and drive along that original beam and drop another buoy. Where the two lines intersect should be the spot. Say you are travelling North on the first pass, the second pass will be East or West right on the original line. Ought to get you pretty near the dead on spot.
ok, I get that, but I'm reviewing the log from a fishing trip, sitting in the garage
Best you can do in that case is to create the waypoint now and then confirm the exact location next time out.
yea, I just read how to move a way point, now got to remember
It'd be a lot easier to do if you had good SI
Don't let anyone bull $hit you Brett, you have the best down scan. Here's how I mark mine, no issues going back and finding them.

An interesting experiment would be to mark a waypoint on structure in the DI view as soon as it appears at the right of the screen...(placing the cursor crosshairs at the point where the structure touches the bottom in the DI view)...
And immediately mark another waypoint by pressing "Mark"...(this would set a waypoint at the GPS antenna location)...
Then compare the 2 waypoints on the chart view zoomed all the way in...
Now ...add another experiment...
Mark a waypoint on structure in the DI view as soon as it appears at the right of the screen...(placing the cursor crosshairs at the very top of the structure up in the water column....
And immediately mark another waypoint by pressing "Mark"...(this would set a waypoint at the GPS antenna location)...
Then compare these 2 waypoints on the chart view zoomed all the way in...
